Bases: ophyd_async.core.DetectorTriggerLogic

Trigger logic for ADSimDetector.

async prepare_internal(num: int, livetime: float, deadtime: float)[source]#

Prepare the detector to take internally triggered exposures.

Parameters:

  • num – the number of exposures to take

  • livetime – how long the exposure should be, 0 means what is currently set

  • deadtime – how long between exposures, 0 means the shortest possible
